This could me the most critical determination that you can make. Vegans come in two general catergories:

1. Thoese that respect your decision to still eat meat and can work with it.
2. Thoese that can't.

If you get the number one then you can move on into the relationship. If you get number two, start looking or get ready for a total lifestyle change. I was lucky enough to land a fantastic woman that can deal with my carniverous ways altho she doesn't care too much for them. This makes life much easier and conversely makes me want to do more for Denise such as cooking vegan meals. Number one vegans realize that the best way to drive someone away from themselves and the Vegan ideals and lifestyle is to get in their faces and tell them how evil they are.

Number two vegans can tend to be militant as far as I can tell. I haven't had any dealings with them so I can't give any advice except hope you like Tofu and are willing to give up your expensive leather Air Jordans.

Lets move on shall we......

The very first thing that you must resolve in your head is that Vegans are not weird, strange, bizzare or derranged altho most of the world seems to think that if you don't eat meat something must be wrong with them. Vegans are just like us, they live they love and they care very much for almost every living thing. These are beliefs that you must respect if you want to make a go of this relationship. This is the key to making a relationship like this work, RESPECT. If you don't have it you won't get it and start checking the personal ads again. You must respect their wishes not to exploit animals just as they respect your decision to continue to exploit animals. You may be suprised, if you take a look, that you agree with a lot of their views.

Once you both decide that this whole relaationship thing isn't so bad it's time to move on to the
BIG QUESTION.........
